HORUS Music Makers Chorus was a group of people with a common low: song. Directed by Mrs. Peggy Corley, they made the rounds of competitions and festivals. With great joy. they entertained the crowds who came to hear their voices. Competition, while not having to do with actual singing. was an important part of the chorus year. They placed 1st at District Rally, and at State Rally where they placed several times. Kim James. Keith Mortimer, Jared Nelson, and Carol Thompson placed superior as a mixed quartet, and Ernie Bryson, Greg Comeaux. John Herr. and Gary Vincent placed superior as a boys' quartet. Julie Morgan and Carol Thompson placed superior in solo, while Keith Mortimer and Ernie Bryson both placed superior in boys' solo. With most organizations, money is needed to make things run smoothly. The chorus was no exception. In early October, they sold cookies and raised $2500 for new music to use during the coming year. We sold more cookies than I was expecting. emphasized chorus member Jocelyn Bauer. But the main purpose of chorus was to sing. Every hour of the day. a different group of melody makers took to class to sing their hearts out. Class was really my favorite part of chorus, enthused Becky Sanchez. That was where we learned how to do everything. The chorus, a group of dedicated vocalists, worked hard through the year to show everyone how good they were. Music, however, still was the main reason they belonged. The chorus was a bunch of music makers forever living in La La Land. — CHOZEN “Chorus is a break for me. It’s a chance to relax and sing and get away from the books.” — CATHERINE BURGE CHORUS DIVISIONS Boys’ Chorus Girls’ Chorus Intermediate Chorus Advanced Chorus Concert Chorus AMATEUR BROADWAY.
